塞拉斯突然被惊醒过来。

1
-

他不知道是什么东西惊醒了他,也不知道他睡了多久。我是在做梦吧?他坐起来,半躺在草席上,聆听着天主事工会活动中心大楼里熟睡的人们那平静的呼吸,以及寂静中偶尔传来的由楼下房间里大声祈祷的人们转化而来的温柔的话语声。这些熟悉的声音,本应该给他带来些许的安慰。

2
-

然而他却出乎意料地突然警惕起来。

3
-

塞拉斯站着,只穿着内衣,他走到窗前。有人在跟踪我吗?楼下的小院空无一人,一如他刚才进来所看到的情景。他仔细地倾听,却没听到什么。那我为什么会感到不安呢?

4
-

塞拉斯很早就学会了要相信自己的直觉。早在他进监狱之前--那时,他还是个成天在马赛市的街道上四处瞎逛的孩子……而且也是在阿林加洛沙主教给了他新生之前,他就已经知道要相信自己的直觉。他偷偷地看着窗外,这时,他模模糊糊的看到一辆藏在树篱深处的汽车的轮廓。在它的顶篷上,安装了一个警察应急用的报警器。这时,走廊上的地板发出"咯吱咯吱"的声音,门闩突然被拉开了。

5
-

对此,塞拉斯本能地作出了反应。还没等门被撞开,他已经冲到房间对面,飞快地溜到门边,躲在里面。第一位进来的警官如疾风骤雨般的闯了进来,他忽左忽右地晃动着手中的枪,小心翼翼地查看似乎空无一人的房间。他还没来得及弄清楚塞拉斯在哪里。塞拉斯已将胳膊藏到了门后面。第一位进来的警官转身准备开枪,塞拉斯急忙猫下腰。子弹射偏了,从他的头顶呼啸而过。塞拉斯抱住警官的胫骨,将他的双腿拖了过来,把他摁倒在地。不料自己的头却撞倒在地。紧跟着第一位进来的警官踉踉跄跄地站起来,塞拉斯照他下身就是一脚,然后跃过警官扭动的躯体,冲进大厅。

6
-

塞拉斯几乎一丝不挂,他拖着苍白的身子拾阶而下。他明白自己被出卖了,但是谁呢?他跌跌撞撞地冲到休息室:看到更多的警察从前门涌了进来。于是他立即掉过头,急速奔向大厅的里头。妇女专用通道。天主事工会修建的每幢建筑,几乎都有这样的通道。

7
-

塞拉斯冲过曲折而又狭窄的走廊,像蛇一样钻进厨房,厨房里干活的人都被吓坏了,他们赶忙躲避,以免与这位赤裸着身子的白化病患者撞在一起。塞拉斯把碗和银器餐具撞了个满地,随后一头钻进了锅炉房旁边的一条走廊。他终于看到了要找的门,在他的眼前,终于出现了一线希望。

8
-

塞拉斯以最快的速度夺门而出,跑入雨中,跳到更低一点的平地,然而等他注意到迎面赶来的警察时,一切都已经迟了。两个大男人撞在了一起,塞拉斯宽阔而裸露的肩膀狠命地顶在那人的胸脯上,令那人痛苦不已。他逼着警官退到了人行道,狠命地捶打他的头部。警官的枪走火了,"砰砰"的响个不停。塞拉斯听到许多人大喊着从大厅里跑了出来。

9
-

就在警官们出现时,他已经滚到一边,迅速捡起走火的手枪。楼梯上有人向他开枪,塞拉斯直觉得肋骨下一阵钻心的疼痛。他勃然大怒,端起枪朝着三名警察就是一阵劲射,刹那间,鲜血溅得满地都是。

10
-

这时,一个不知从哪里冒出来的黑影,在他身后若隐若现。那人愤怒地抓住塞拉斯裸露的肩膀,双手仿佛充满了魔鬼的力量。他的吼声在塞拉斯的耳边回响。"塞拉斯,别开枪!"塞拉斯回头就是几枪,他们的目光终于相遇。等他发现倒下的是阿林加洛沙主教时,他不禁失声大叫,惊恐异常。

11
-

Langdon’s eyes had not left the computer screen since the search began.

Pamela Gettum was in the adjoining room, preparing hot drinks. Langdon and Sophie had inquiredunwisely if there might be some coffee brewing alongside the tea Gettum had offered, and from thesound of the microwave beeps in the next room, Langdon suspected their request was about to berewarded with instant Nescafe.

"No good," Gettum said. "Not many mythological green giants buried in London."Langdon and Sophie sat patiently in front of the screen and waited through two more dubiousreturns. When the computer pinged again, though, the offering was unexpected.

Gettum peeked back in the doorway, holding a packet of instant coffee. "That seems like a strangematch. Was Wagner a knight?""No," Langdon said, feeling a sudden intrigue. "But he was a well-known Freemason." Along withMozart, Beethoven, Shakespeare, Gershwin, Houdini, and Disney. Volumes had been written aboutthe ties between the Masons and the Knights Templar, the Priory of Sion, and the Holy Grail. "Iwant to look at this one. How do I see the full text?""You don’t want the full text," Gettum called. "Click on the hypertext title. The computer willdisplay your keyword hits along with mono prelogs and triple postlogs for context."Langdon had no idea what she had just said, but he clicked anyway.

The keywords with context were enough to remind him that Wagner’s opera Parsifal was a tributeto Mary Magdalene and the bloodline of Jesus Christ, told through the story of a young knight on aquest for truth.

"Just be patient," Gettum urged. "It’s a numbers game. Let the machine run."Over the next few minutes, the computer returned several more Grail references, including a textabout troubadours—France’s famous wandering minstrels. Langdon knew it was no coincidencethat the word minstrel and minister shared an etymological root. The troubadours were thetraveling servants or "ministers" of the Church of Mary Magdalene, using music to disseminate thestory of the sacred feminine among the common folk. To this day, the troubadours sang songsextolling the virtues of "our Lady"—a mysterious and beautiful woman to whom they pledgedthemselves forever.

KNIGHTS, KNAVES, POPES, AND PENTACLES: THE HISTORY OF THE HOLY GRAILTHROUGH Tarot"Not surprising," Langdon said to Sophie. "Some of our keywords have the same names asindividual cards." He reached for the mouse to click on a hyperlink. "I’m not sure if yourgrandfather ever mentioned it when you played Tarot with him, Sophie, but this game is a ’flash-card catechism’ into the story of the Lost Bride and her subjugation by the evil Church."Sophie eyed him, looking incredulous. "I had no idea.""That’s the point. By teaching through a metaphorical game, the followers of the Grail disguisedtheir message from the watchful eye of the Church." Langdon often wondered how many moderncard players had any clue that their four suits—spades, hearts, clubs, diamonds—were Grail-relatedsymbols that came directly from Tarot’s four suits of swords, cups, scepters, and pentacles.

"Gravity of Genius?" Langdon called out to Gettum. "Bio of a modern knight?"Gettum stuck her head around the corner. "How modern? Please don’t tell me it’s your Sir RudyGiuliani. Personally, I found that one a bit off the mark."Langdon had his own qualms about the newly knighted Sir Mick Jagger, but this hardly seemed themoment to debate the politics of modern British knighthood. "Let’s have a look." Langdonsummoned up the hypertext keywords.

"I guess ’modern’ is a relative term," Sophie called to Gettum. "It’s an old book. About Sir IsaacNewton."Gettum shook her head in the doorway. "No good. Newton was buried in Westminster Abbey, theseat of English Protestantism. There’s no way a Catholic Pope was present. Cream and sugar?"Sophie nodded.

Gettum waited. "Robert?"Langdon’s heart was hammering. He pulled his eyes from the screen and stood up. "Sir IsaacNewton is our knight."Sophie remained seated. "What are you talking about?""Newton is buried in London," Langdon said. "His labors produced new sciences that incurred thewrath of the Church. And he was a Grand Master of the Priory of Sion. What more could wewant?""What more?" Sophie pointed to the poem. "How about a knight a Pope interred? You heard Ms.
